Urgent!

Calling all Year 5. We need you to send us a photograph of you holding a rainbow. This can be a drawing or painting of a rainbow, a rainbow cake or a rainbow model. Your photograph can be either landscape or portrait. We must have everyone's photograph as it will become part of an artwork and will also be placed on the front of your wonderful reports. So, get busy and sent it to us ASAP!

This is a great book which encourages children to notice and celebrate differences in people.

If you decide to complete some activities (found at the back of the book),  don't forget to email your pictures!

Lo: To use known facts to create a magazine page based on known facts

Find out about the history-making SpaceX rocket which has just landed at the International Space Station.

BBC Newsround – SpaceX docks to ISS: NASA astronauts land safely and make history:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/52526849

Write a news report about the landing.

To get an idea of how Newsround currently present the news, watch the show here: CBBC Newsround: Watch Newsround –https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/news/watch_newsround

To help when
writing your news script, think about including these points:
– Introduce yourself and explain what your news is, in a short  summary sentence ‘Good evening, my name is… Tonight’s main
news is…’
– Stick to the key facts
– making your news as clear as possible
– You may wish to include quotes from the astronauts which can be found in the article
– Give a closing statement to end your bulletin ‘I’m … and this has been tonight’s news. Goodnight.’

Today you are going to create your own piece of art. Check out the 3 art tutorials below. Can you use either of these or even all of them to create a piece of space themed art.

Lo: To plan a travel brochure

Do you remember the wonderful planet of Pandora? Well today you are going to be creating a travel brochure for this beautiful world.

Watch the clip (Note: Although Avatar has a 12 certificate, this extract is age appropriate).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBGDmin_38E&feature=emb_title

After watching once, watch again – this time making notes about the
planet as you watch. You may find pausing the clip at these times helpful to write down your notes:
– 0:00 – 0:56 mins
– 0:56 – 2:04 mins
– 2:04 – 3:33 mins
– 3:33 – end.

Create a page, for a  travel brochure, advertising a space trip to Pandora.
When writing your advertisement, consider these points:
– Have you included an enticing title which will draw the reader in?
– Begin with an opening paragraph which gives an overview of
Pandora and why they might want to visit.
– Include short subsections which describe what they might see if they took the trip.
– Don’t forget to use persuasive features, such as: appealing
adjectives to describe the attractions, rhetorical questions, imperative verbs, e.g. ‘grab a ticket’ ‘book now’, facts and figures
about Pandora.

If you want you can create this on PurpleMash so I can read it and give you some feedback

Maths

Lo: To add decimals with different decimal places

Go to https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z3xx8hv

Choose whether you would like to do activity 1 (worksheet) or activity 2 (interactive game).

Topic

Lo: To investigate feelings and emotions

The last few months have been a very strange and uncertain time for everybody and it's easy to forget to take some time out just to think about what has been happening. Doing this is a way of letting our body and brain deal with emotions and feelings that we may not even realised we had. I have been using meditation in our house just to take some time out of the day to think and feel and 'be'.  Some of you will remember our meditation sessions from class. We always end of meditation sessions with a chat with each other, sometimes it's about what we are feeling and sometimes it's about minecraft or football! 

Today I would like you to read the book below then have a chat with someone in your house. Remember, you can chat about anything! However, make sure you do talk to someone after as this is a good way of letting your brain have time to understand what you have read.

Lo: To write creatively

Watch yesterdays clip again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBGDmin_38E&feature=emb_title

As you are watching, imagine you are an astronaut about to embark on a journey to Pandora. Think about the parts you would love to explore and also the places/things which you would be nervous to
encounter.

After watching, now imagine you have just spent your first day in
Pandora. Write a diary/ blog about your experience. 
Use the points below to help you…

• Spaceship journey to Pandora
• Landing on Pandora / first impressions
• First place visited 
• Second place visited / meeting creature from Pandora 
• Closing paragraph – where are you now? How do you feel about tomorrow

I have added it as a PurpleMash 2do if you prefer.

Think about your favourite games -

Is it physical like tennis or Twister?

Is it strategic like Connect 4 or Monopoly?

Is it creative like Pictionary or Charades?

Is it more luck like snakes and ladders or snap?

Whichever game you prefer can you make your own version or put a spin on the current version?
